We’re entering the final stretches of the Zend Framework 1.10.0 release
train: last night, we released our first release candidate (RC) for 1.10.0.
You can download it from our downloads page:
Please note that the RC is only available on the ZF site, not from
the zend.com CDN.
Frequent visitors to the Zend Framework site will notice a few changes we’ve
implemented:
- The download page has a new design, aimed to be simpler and more
visually appealing. - The reference guide now allows you to select which minor release version
of ZF you are using, as well as search per-version. - We now have API docs per-minor-version as well.
We have a few more site updates in store for the stable 1.10.0 release; stay
tuned for that announcement!

This is a release candidate, and should by no means be used in
production. While we feel that this version represents a stable feature
set, there may be a number of issues that still need to be addressed before
the final release. As such, we do ask you to test your applications
against the RC, and provide us feedback via the
have a solid and stable release.
We are planning the stable release for this upcoming Tuesday, 26 January
2010.
This is very much a community-driven framework; please join me in
congratulating the many contributors who have made the release possible!

When is 2.0 expected to be released, and is there any code I could look at now in a repository like GIT or SVN?
January 22, 2010 at 9:06 pm
We have published a roadmap for 2.0, but have not yet begun work on it; we plan to branch soon after 1.10 stable is released. As for when we will be releasing, we’re likely looking at Q4 2010 at the earliest (we won’t know much more until we’ve done some work off of which to base an estimate).
